Hi, I'm Joanna!

Multi-faceted UX Designer with a strong background in user-centered design, information architecture, and customer experience. Experienced in building rapport with clients to better understand their goals and motivations, and crafting novel and neat solutions that deliver and delight.

Nice to meet you.  My name is Joanna, an east coast based User Experience designer. 
After a decade in the professional world admiring the design work of my colleagues, I devoted quarantine to honing my user design and research abilities, while incorporating the valuable skills I've developed in my previous career.  I've proudly worked as a full-time UX designer in this field since April 2021.
Through my work in end-user training, management and support, I can connect with the user’s perspective to create solutions. I’m excited to finally bring this insight into the design stage, where I can solve the customer’s problems and provide them what they need before they even ask. 
Outside of work, I channel my creativity in all aspects of life.  I love to illustrate and craft homemade gifts, experiment with new recipes, travel wherever a cheap flight takes me as often as possible, incorporating each new experience into my life back home.
